What is the price one should expect to pay for a quad system server? I am guessing this could either be four cpus, two dual core cpus, or four seprate cpus all on the same motherboard. What this the best way to offer such a server?
If you were on a budget and building a server, which motherboard/cpu combo would you go for?
Any recommendations for inexpensive but fairly good colo options near Chicago? I have a website that will serve users routing through Chicago us.bb.gin.ntt.net and am wondering how low latency I can get to that without breaking the bank for this one project
What minimum VPS specs should I be looking for to support a PHPBB3 forum that uses 100GB/mth bandwidth and has 50 concurrent users at peak times (measured by PHPBB, so not real-time concurrent)?
And are there any suggestions for inexpensive ($30 or less) options that would be worth trying? Have never used a VPS before.
If not, are there any shared hosting providers that specialize in hosting message boards like PHPBB?
I've searched extensively through the Windows hosting forum but I was not able to find reasonable hosting providers based on the following criteria:
* Shared is fine (I'm on a budget) * The cheaper the better (no more than 2 hours / week downtime) * 9-5 support and 24 hour ticket turnaround * Include .NET 3.5 * Include ASP.NET and WCF (web services) * Allow up to 5 domain names that I already own * Include 2GB of disk space and 10GB of traffic / month * A decent pipe, something like 100K down and 50k up * SQL Server 2005 Express (or better) with the ability to remotely connect to via Management Studio (with credentials) * Ability to run or use a POP and SMTP server * Allow file upload / download via FTP or secure FTP
Anyone know of a good source for inexpensive used or recertified SDLT tapes? We have a customer installing a pretty large NAS (one 2TB array, one 1.6TB array, both will be near full) which they want to back up to SDLT... but new tapes at $35 will cost them a couple thousand bucks.
I've seen recert tapes between $10 and $15 but can't find anyone who has them at the moment.
Just got a letter from InMotion. They don't like I uploaded my backup files to them, which makes their hosting benefits totally pointless to me and I will be moving to some other cheaper hosting since I basically only use email.
So I need some place to store my backups... I need only about 5 Gb, and I don't care about bandwidth, as I don't plan to download them unless all my HDDs will burn or get stolen or something so I don't need bandwidth. And it should be no more than few bucks/mo.
I read that quad cores, really aren't that useful since, most applicaitons aren't multi-threaded...*has no idea what that means*
If i used a quad core for a few websites that get about 20k visitors per day, would it noticeably increase perfermance compared to just a regular dual core?
I run a large forum and I currently use dual Amd Opteron 248 with 2 gigs. I am looking am moving server to Canada and I am looking at Iweb and they don't offer opterons. Do any of these compare to a my opterons? I also plan on adding 2 more gigs of ram.
My options at Iweb Core2 Duo 2.4GHz (800MHz FSB) — Add $45.00 /month Core2 Duo 3.0GHz (1333MHz FSB) — Add $70.00 /month Core2 Quad 2.4GHz — Add $80.00 /month Core2 Quad 2.66GHz
About to pickup a server strictly for use with MySQL databases.
Right now there's zero price difference between the Intel 5110 dual core and the 5310 quad cores. Looking around a bit online, it seems like the quad core is of no benefit (or lesser performance) than the dualie. That sql cannot take advantage of it yet.
Is this accurate? If so, where do quad core CPU's shine at this point in time?
We are looking at a new configuration for some of our server setups. The Intel D946GZIS gets a lot of good reviews, but is it compatible with Quad Core CPUs (ie: X3210)?
Can anyone rate the performance of a Tyan Transport TX46 (B4985) with quad AMD Opteron 8220 Dual-Core 2.8 2x1MB cache compared to an Intel platform with 8 cores? How does Intel and AMD compare on an 8 core platform?
I have a Quad Core Xeon right now that I had set up with RAID 1. I'm getting horrible Disk I/O rates for this drive, 1.57MB/sec sequential write speeds. I'm having slowdowns that seem to be database related and more specifically I/O related. I run both my webserver (IIS/ASP) and my database (SQL SERVER 2000) on this Quad Core Xeon box with 4GB RAM. The disk I/O is killing me. I see that I have plenty of CPU cycles and plenty of free memory. At this point I'd sacrifice RAID 1 for better performance.
Should I got with the Quad Core Xeon with 4GB RAM for this webserver/database server config or go with 2 Core2Duo servers with 2GB RAM each?
I'm getting a quad core server and am wondering is there any much difference (performance, stability?) between a quad core Xeon 5400 series and a Core2Quad Q9300?
servers for a freehosting project and came across a good quote on some dual quad core amds for $320 a month. Is this about right? I don't want to give the exact location away as this was a custom quote but it's located in chicago. The network is Internap FCP optimized with internap, level3, and comcast.
